New National Post boss doesn’t fear the Net
p2pnet news view | Advertising:- “I don’t subscribe to the school of thought that newspapers will disappear.”
So says Paul Godfrey, the ex-politician and soon-to-be-ex-Blue Jays baseball team boss who’s been named the new president and CEO of Canwest Global Communications’ National Post newspaper.
“The biggest challenge facing newspapers is the migration of readers and advertising dollars to the Internet,” the National Post has him saying, but nonetheless, “there remains a strong future for print publications.”
He starts on January 1 and, “In this newly created role,” will, “build on the positive momentum of recent strategic initiatives undertaken to accelerate National Post’s path to profitability,” says Canwest.

Paul Godfrey is a good guy, but he’s got a tough job a head of him. CanWest is not swimming in money right now and I is a tough time to start anything new. Good luck to him.
